Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yes stress can do this so if I were you I would have my Cortisol levels checked if low this will drive down your Testosterone levels. Actually, with respect of Philip, it is high levels of cortisol which will send your testosterone levels plunging. Hypercortisolemia (i.e. having too much cortisol) is a classic cause of stress and may indeed indicate Cushing's. Chronic stress can also cause something called pseudo-hypercortisolemia, which mimics all of the symptoms of Cushing's Disease, but without the underlying pituitary tumour of Cushing's. According to GP friends of mine, stress is responsible for approximately 80 per cent of all illnesses and is to be avoided at all costs if possible. While stress may have contributed to your testosterone problem, you should makes sure that you have been checked out for all other possible causes.
